Chapter 91 – Episode 91. Memories (8): Memories With Maternal Grandfather

Seo Yeon-yu quietly stepped on her accelerator and glanced at her side.

‘Even though I try not to die, Mom, I guess I’m dreaming of myself?’

It was like a baby bird and cute in its own way.

Her body was curled up.

‘Is it cold?’

Seo Yeon-yu looked at her son’s expression.

It looks like he’s having a good sleep.

She was sleeping with her mouth open.

She turned up the temperature slightly and covered her son with a blanket she had left in the backseat of her car.

Seo Yeon-yu, an ultra-beautiful actress who has remained at the top of the entertainment industry for over 10 years.

The day quickly became dark.

30 She was driving with her now adopted son.

Before I knew it, the road became increasingly dark.

The sunset disappearing beyond the horizon.

My husband and father decided to adopt without even asking my opinion.

I was embarrassed at first.

And I was angry.

How dare you decide who will be your child?

I thought this wasn’t right and was thinking about how I could get them to choose another child.

‘It has to be that girl…’ ‘

But my husband showed me a video.

On the tablet screen, there was a cute, innocent-looking boy with pure white eyes and clear eyes.

This was the child my husband kept talking about.

He said while looking at the child.

“There’s something I couldn’t tell you last time.”

“What is it?”

“It’s not your child, is it?”

“Are you doubting me?”

“Then why does it have to be this child?”

“My father and I have supported hundreds of religious shelters. You also went to volunteer with me. Sometimes, when we had events, we spent a lot of time with foster children and abandoned children.”

“Yes. I know.”

My husband adjusted his tie and spoke firmly.

“There is no other reason. My father brought it up first, and I was just keeping an eye on him.

“

“I don’t hate that kid either. I think I can tell just by looking at his eyes. Of course, I have to go see him a lot. But I also have my own thoughts. There are quite a few kids I like too. To the point where I wonder what it would be like if they were my children. How can you arbitrarily notify someone without paying any attention?”

My husband frowned slightly, sighed, and said.

“Let’s discuss the second together”

“I decide the second one”

“Hehe… It’s condensed milk”

“Father? I’ll tell you.”

“Ha… Let’s think again now. There’s no need to adopt…”

My thoughts stop and I see my son sleeping soundly.

At first there were no feelings. Just a cute kid? The thought.

When we were together, the things they did and said were just cute.

Of course, there is another reason that made me like it the most…

Even before the morning dew on the leaves dries,

A large figure with white hair stood quietly in front of the door marked [Room 205].

Tick-tick-

As soon as his wristwatch shows 6:00 a.M., He places his thumb on the fingerprint recognition door lock.

Crunch-

The front door opens by itself with the sound of opening.

Enter inside without hesitation as if it were your own living room.

Sigh – A muscular old man scanning his surroundings.

The room, which had a stable and calm feel with pastel-toned wallpaper, was clean and nice to look at.

Dal-kak

I carefully open the door to the master bedroom.

In a large bed, a boy is sleeping so deeply that no one will notice even if someone carries him.

That child is sleeping comfortably as if he has no worries.

The old man was keeping an eye on orphans who showed signs of potential as successors.

At that time, the new baby was refusing to become pregnant for some reason.

After consulting with her son, she often went to see and watch the children who were chosen as adoptees.

After watching for several years, the options have narrowed down.

In the end, it was decided to bring the child to the Kang family.

A child who will raise up the disappearing Kang family.

That child was the hope of the Kang family.

‘Please grow well’

That’s how that child became the old man’s grandson.

The old man looks at the boy quietly, then pulls the door and closes it slightly as if he wants to leave.

Take a breath and lift your right foot off the ground.

The capillaries rose, showing off his strength.

I put my weight on my right leg, which was floating in the air, and kicked the door with the sole of my foot.

Kwa—ang!

Suddenly, there was a sound like a wall bursting, and the boy jumped up screaming.

“Wow!”

The boy, who must have been at the end of the bed, was startled by a loud noise and struggled and fell down the bed with a thud.

“Ack – fuck…”

I bite my lip, grab my buttocks, and raise my head.

The shadow approached the boy.

Thick white eyebrows.

A solemn look.

His personality seemed to be revealed through his tightly crossed arms posture.

***

The loud noise he just heard was the sound of his grandfather kicking in the door.

“Wake up——! Wake up–!”

The sound of shouting comes once again.

“Ugh-“

I woke up like a race to a shout that sounded louder than a siren.

“Under! Under! Under! Good morning!!”

I greet you in the morning with a hearty smile as if the world is leaving.

What, how did you get in?

I’m confused whether this is reality or a dream.

Why in my room… ?

My grandfather shouts loudly without fail.

“The real special training begins today!”

My grandfather’s vocalizations were so funny that I almost needed earplugs.

Did you tell me in advance! You’re like a grandpa who doesn’t have any answers!

A few days ago, my grandfather kept the declaration he made while rubbing his beard.

I did say, ‘I have to start special training starting today.’

But since he didn’t say anything, I thought he was just quietly passing it off as if it wasn’t there.

“Grandpa, my ears hurt so much.”

I covered my ears and pleaded.

“Then – get up quickly! Are you still in bed? “I’ll give you 15 minutes. Get dressed and come out to the backyard of the mansion!”

I just said what I had to say and left my room as if I didn’t care.

The minute hand of the owl clock was pointing to 5 minutes.

Backyard of the mansion until 6:20.

I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom.

***

I quickly washed my cat’s face, changed my clothes, and came down.

6:19.

It’s not too late.

Ha-ha-

I was running so quickly that I couldn’t keep my balance and almost fell in the middle.

I woke up earlier than usual and was very tired.

When we went outside, the puppies in the backyard of the mansion were jumping up and down, probably because they were happy that their grandfather had come.

‘Bruise! ‘Woof!’

When I appear, they come rushing in like crazy, waving their tails like propellers.

Golden retrievers panting and not knowing what to do.

I bent down and continued stroking the retrievers’ heads.

My maternal grandfather quietly watches over me.

I went and stood next to my grandfather as if I was ready.

“Let’s go now”

“Yes”

It was from this day.

I started climbing the mountain behind the mansion with my grandfather every weekend.

“How far do we go?”

“Normal”

“…”

My maternal grandfather took the lead on the trail leading to the top of the mountain.

I held my breath and started walking after my grandfather.

“Do you know what the name of our mountain is?”

“It’s Yeokcheon Mountain. But this place isn’t even Yeokcheon City, it’s Gucheon City. Why was it called Yeokcheon Mountain?”

“Because it is the place where the history begins. There is a hermitage up there, on the top of the mountain. Just go there. Cheer up!”

He tapped my back hard, as if telling me to cheer up, and suddenly started jumping up.

“Sleep… “Just a moment!”

Jump-jump-jump-a movement that makes you wonder if this is an old man.

He jumped up with ease, as if his joints didn’t hurt.

While I was able to climb up step by step by placing my hand on my thighs, my grandfather climbed up that far without any difficulty.

As I wiped the sweat from my forehead with my hand and raised my head, I saw my grandfather sitting on a rock in the distance watching me.

I take a breath and struggle to take my feet off again.

Ha – hell.

This is like the march I only heard about!

My thighs and legs started shaking.

Oh, I can’t go any further-

It was a pain that tore my lungs.

It was too much for me because my physical strength was rubbish.

Normal is impossible.

When I looked up, clear water was flowing.

In the water, there were crayfish that I had only seen in books and were said to live only in first-class water.

Ma Eung-mi suddenly heard that he wanted to catch and raise it.

The sound of an unknown mountain bird mingled with the sound of clear water and sounded more harmonious than any other music.

I automatically felt better.

Beautiful grass covered with dawn dew was spread out.

Between the valley, grass, flowers, and beautiful trees, a beautifully located cabin that looked like something out of a storybook caught my eye.

The hut had two floors. There were also windows that let in light.

And in one corner, there were cut out bricks that looked like they were drying.

And a delicious smell wafted from near the hut.

As I approached, I saw flames.

Chi-Ik-

My maternal grandfather was cooking something with a pot on the camping burner.

“This was a mountainous area with no electricity and no access to cars. This is a place I built with my father and brothers. It’s full of memories.”

I nodded, saying yes, but my eyes turned to the dish in front of me.

Wow- Ramen!

Crazy!

This is a dish that the housekeeper never serves, saying it is not good for health.

I searched, and it said I could eat it sometimes, but I couldn’t eat it, but I never dreamed I would eat it here.

I am a ramen master.

I eat a lot of ramens at a religious shelter, so I know it very well.

Ramen being boiled on the mountainside.
